I want to start by saying thank you and I appreciate what you guys do. I've gotten several of your games from TPB and don't usually have much of a problem, or at least one I can't figure out. That is, until now.

I downloaded your torrent for Mass Effect 1. It installed fine, the config runs, and by all other appearances, it's normal. When I try to actually play the game, however, it closes the window and another one pops up that just says "Mass Effect has stopped working" with a loading bar telling me Windows is searching for a solution to the problem. If I run the autorun or launcher shortcut, it takes me to the "start screen" for Mass Effect, where I can select Play, Configure, Uninstall, etc. But if I open the Mass Effect.exe in the Binaries folder, the "stopped working" screen pops up right away. Nothing else. Same thing happens when I click Play from the start screen.

There is no error code. The only thing that comes up is a box that says "Mass Effect has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution to the problem" and it has a Cancel button at the bottom right, and if I wait for it to load, it says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" and a button at the bottom right that says "Close program."

I will update my drivers as soon as possible, which should be tomorrow morning.

And I don't have a "Program Files (x86)." I just have a regular C:\Program Files\. But I opened C:\Program Files\Mass Effect\Binaries and ran MassEffect.exe as an Admin, and the same thing happened. =\
